Hi John,
I’m writing to you today with an urgent request: will you help make the COP26 climate talks a major moment for our movement?

There has never been a more pressing time to demand world leaders commit to urgent global climate action.

We’re mobilising as many people as we can to attend and take action around COP26 to make sure our demands are heard. Part of this is organising workshops, being heard in the media and producing informative materials to get even more people involved in and after the event.
But we need your help to make this happen. Can you donate £5 today to support the climate movement and help fund the resources needed to make our voices heard at COP26?
Yes, I'll donate ([link removed])
The findings of the IPCC’s latest report made for alarming reading for many of us and were described by the UN chief as ‘code red for humanity’. World leaders’ inaction has resulted in devastating floods, annihilating wildfires and deadly droughts becoming more common occurrences in the global south as well as in the global north.

Business as usual means global temperatures will rise by more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels within two decades. This is a breach of the 2015 Paris climate agreement, and will bring more widespread devastation and extreme weather across the globe.

But even though some of the impacts are already "irreversible" and "inevitable", the scientists behind last month’s IPCC report say there is still time to limit some of the most disastrous impacts – but only if we act now.

World leaders are meeting in Glasgow in November for the climate talks (COP26). We must demand that they take urgent and meaningful action now and follow through with their promises – before it’s too late.

To achieve this we need to mobilise as many people as possible – online and in-person – and we’ve developed and organised several workshops and written informative materials ready for printing and distribution. But we need help to fund this.
You can help make our plans for the most important climate event a major moment for our movement by donating £5 today. We must urgently demand climate action.

For the last eighteen months the pandemic has forced us to gather and protest mainly online. But now we have a chance to mobilise in person and ensure we’re heard – loud and clear – at the climate talks. As part of the COP26 Coalition, this is our big chance to put our demands forward:
* Getting rid of the power of trade rules to override climate goals, most immediately by exiting the Energy Charter Treaty

* An end to aid funding for all fossil fuel projects in the global south

* Cancelling debts to support the global south investing in climate adaptation

* The completion of a UN treaty to hold transnational corporations to account for how they operate

* A new climate finance deal to be agreed at COP26 that accurately reflects the UK’s fair share of climate debt

But we need people-power at the climate talks to ensure our demands are heard. Right now, we need funds to mobilise as many people as possible to join the protests and counter-summits in Glasgow and around the UK, build pressure on governments and generate momentum for systemic policy change beyond the climate talks.
Whether you will be at the climate talks yourself or not, you can help build and strengthen a long-term movement for climate action by donating today.

Climate breakdown isn’t just an ecological crisis – although this is serious enough. It is also a crisis which intensifies much of the inequality and injustice of the economic system it is rooted in.

Trade and investment deals give corporations huge power and lock us into a fossil-fuel based economy. Debt and tax injustice drive deforestation and extractivism, which themselves are based on colonial and unjust relationships.

And despite recent climate-related disasters in the global north, it is the people of the global south who are overwhelmingly suffering the effects of the climate crisis – even though the vast majority of historical carbon emissions have come from the global north.

To have any chance of limiting some of the worst impacts of climate change, we need to put pressure on world leaders and stop them from allowing corporations to write the rules.

We have a duty to mobilise as many of us in the UK as we can in solidarity with people in the global south, to amplify their demands and build pressure on rich countries to take action at the climate talks and beyond.
Any amount you are able to donate today, will further the climate mobilisation for COP26 and into the future.
